This week on Fintech Insider News, host David Barton-Grimley teams up with a panel of experts to explore the most compelling fintech and financial services stories we've uncovered.

Chase has officially overtaken Monzo as Britain’s favourite bank, according to a new CMA survey. Lloyds Bank has teamed up with fintech Doshi to launch a gamified financial education platform aimed at young people. It’s a sorry picture for the global fintech sector in H2 2024, as both fintech investment and the number of deals fell to levels not seen since 2017. Meanwhile, Dashen Bank, one of Ethiopia’s leading private banks, has partnered with global nonprofit Accion and the Mastercard Center for Inclusive Growth to better serve small businesses, and social investing platform eToro has officially filed for an IPO in the US.
